Why it matters
The deadline that matters for a new applicant is 23 November. The extra three days are for finishing a form after registration and payment. The residency rule can also decide which form to choose. An eligible GNM graduate who lives elsewhere in West Bengal can consider the separate Staff Nurse notice, while the Community Health Assistant notice asks for permanent residence in Birbhum.
Rampurhat Health District in Birbhum has invited applications for 23 contractual posts for doctors, community health assistants, rehabilitation workers and data managers. Online applications opened on 13 November 2026. Registration and payment close on 23 November, with final form submission due by 26 November.

What to check before applying
Doctors. Five vacancies are for General Duty Medical Officers. The other seven are split across three programmes. Six of those seven are at urban health facilities in Rampurhat or Nalhati. The district gives MBBS results 85 marks and the interview 15. Memo 4160 calls the single adolescent-health vacancy RKSK. The state portal lists a Medical Officer row under RBSK with the same memo number. If applying for that vacancy, check the notice and confirm the listing with the district before paying.
Community health assistants. Two vacancies are at urban primary health centres under Rampurhat Municipality. One is at an urban health and wellness centre in the health district. The notice requires Bengali proficiency and ranks eligible applicants by their ANM or GNM examination marks.
Rehabilitation workers and data managers. The rehabilitation posts require hospital experience. For the data jobs, the notice sets different experience thresholds for data recording and analysis: three years in government or five in the private sector. The data manager computer test has a 50% qualifying mark.
